Xi Heng moved the direction of the skeleton crown and suddenly pushed towards the legs of the priest.
Part of the skeleton suddenly shattered and flew in the air with a puff, like a shotgun bullet that directly broke a leg.
The strange priest screamed in pain after being hit and immediately fell to the ground.
Seeing the despair on the other's face, she realized that this guy probably had no magic left, so she pointed the broken skeleton crown at the nearest swordsman.
flutter--
Half of the bones shattered and sprayed out, making the man's body surface messy and blurred. Without making a sound, he collapsed to the ground, bleeding all over.
The knife-wielding cultist nearby was startled and quickly took a few more steps back, his legs trembling, and he almost wanted to run away.
When Xi Heng aimed the remaining skeleton tree crown at this person, the terrifying life-and-death crisis was imminent, which made him tremble all over. His mind suddenly changed inexplicably, and he immediately knelt down, kowtowed, and shouted:
"Demon Ancestor! I am also a descendant of demons! Please don't kill me! From now on I will no longer believe in the Pure Fire Master. I believe in the Demon Ancestor! I believe in the Great Darkness Master!"
He banged his head against the ground repeatedly, fearing that if he was a little slower, he would die in the same way as his companions.
The faster his mind raced, the faster his head thrashed up and down.
It was not until his forehead was broken and he heard the other party's sneer that he stopped in a daze.
"Okay, go away, I won't kill you."
Seeing the other person's funny look, Xi Heng couldn't help but find it funny, so he waved his hand.
"Thank you, demon ancestor! Thank you, Dark Lord!" The man stood up in a hurry and ran away in a panic.
Another swordsman next to him also knelt down and kowtowed in imitation of the demon. He did so several times and kowtowed more than ten times before Xi Heng asked him to stop.
"You can go too, but when you return to your damn Jingming Sect, you must tell them that I am a demon and let them come and kill me."
"Ah?" The young believer obviously couldn't understand.
"What? You dare not obey the orders of this demon lord?" The girl with red eyes pushed the skeleton in front of her five fingers forward a little.
"I dare not! I dare not!" the soldier shouted hurriedly.
"get out."
Xi Heng ignored him and approached the strange high priest who was still screaming in pain and squatted down.
"Demon, you are causing chaos in the territory of the Pure Fire Master. You will be killed by the Master's messenger! You will be burned to ashes by the Holy Fire!"
"It's still a demon..." Xi Heng sighed, casually shook his hands to let the bones on his nails fall away, squatted down and asked the chief priest of the Jingming Sect who was lying on the ground: "Let me ask you, where did your magic come from?"
The other party clenched his teeth and did not answer.
However, based on this person's attitude, Xi Heng could also guess something:
"When you saw that I was a dark energy warrior, you didn't even think of using magic even if you had to pay me. It wasn't until I said a few more words to your Pure Fire Master that you attacked me out of anger. Magic is your trump card, and you won't use it unless it's absolutely necessary."
"And judging from your expression, you really believe that I am a demon, which means you don't understand where magic comes from... This magic should have been carved for you by a high-ranking member of your Jingming Sect, right?"
Xi Heng said calmly:
"The most likely person is your so-called Messenger of Light, the so-called Goddess of the Red Sky."
The woman's eyes slightly opened, and after a muffled groan, she remained silent.
"So that guy really knows magic..."
Xi Heng sighed and said, "After I kill you and the battle in Jinshi City is over, I will go to the southeast coast to find the Red Sky Goddess and snatch her magic."
"The Goddess of Scarlet Sky is the heavenly messenger sent by the Pure Fire Master. You must burn her to death with the Holy Fire!"
"What divine messenger? What heaven? She is more likely to be a person who had some luck and picked up this magic secret book." After Xi Heng said this, he stood up again.
He raised and lowered the long sword in his hand, piercing the cultist's head, relieving him of his pain.
Xi Heng casually wiped the sword on the corpse's clothes and put it back into the sheath.
With a step of the toes, the figure flew high and landed on the eaves on one side.
Xi Heng looked out toward the street and saw that the two knife-wielding cultists she had let go were still fleeing at full speed, as if they were afraid that she had changed her mind and would chase her again.
She thought:
"In the next few days, the followers of the Jingming Sect in Jinshi City will probably come to hunt me down."
"According to my senior sister, my strength is already very strong among the dark energy fighters. With the addition of magic, I should be able to easily kill a dark energy fighter if I encounter one."
"But if you encounter Hua Jin, you should save the game immediately..." Xi Heng pondered:
"But there shouldn't be any Hua Jin in this evil cult. Even if there is, it shouldn't be in Jinshi City, but should be accompanying the Red Sky Goddess... The priests here only have Ming Jin Dacheng, plus a small spell."
"The only ones we need to pay attention to are the Huajin warriors in the Jinshi City army... It is said that Fang Tiande has the power that dragons and elephants cannot defeat, so he might be a Huajin warrior. As for the others, I haven't heard much about them."
"And now we don't know whether Fang Tiande is in the city. Even if he is, he should be stationed on the city wall and will not get involved in the evil affairs of the Jingming Sect."
“If Huangmei Mountain also sent Huajin warriors as reinforcements to garrison Jinshi, they should not care about this small religion in the city. After all, the Great Zhao Ever-Victorious Army has already set up camp outside, so why would they care about these trivial matters in the city…”
"But you still have to be careful, there might be a nosy expert."
Xi Heng nodded gently:
"If you encounter a Hua Jin warrior, save the game immediately."
There is only one save file now, and she always feels that it can be used at a more important time, so it would be a waste to save it directly.
So, delay it as much as possible.
"As for now, let's find a place to meditate and rest... By the way, when the city is besieged, will the restaurant still be open?" Xi Heng tilted his head.
Anyway, let's go to the shopping street first...
Not long after, Xi Heng arrived at the restaurant where he had lived two months ago. However, the lanterns outside the building were no longer lit, and it was dark inside the building with the door closed.
"It's closed,"
But locking the door alone could not stop her. Xi Heng climbed up the stairs by stepping on the beams with his light Kung Fu skills, reached out to grab the wooden railing of the balcony, and climbed into the room.
She had lived here for three days and was already familiar with the layout. She walked to the dressing table as if she was at home, pulled out a flint and steel from the cabinet, and lit a candle.
The red candle lit up, and Xi Heng quietly looked at his face in front of the mirror.
Today she maintained her most natural appearance, because she came here to do evil things, so she did not deliberately disguise herself to hide her identity as a blood demon.
Xi Heng blew out the candle, came to the soft bed, took off his brocade shoes, sat cross-legged on the bed and meditated quietly.
As time goes by, the moonlight becomes brighter or darker, and the sky becomes more and more changeable.
In just half an hour, there were more noises coming from outside.
……
At midnight, a group of Jingming religious believers holding torches and wearing rough white clothes gathered in the square of Jinshi City.
The crowd and the flames surrounded the two tragic corpses on the ground. A believer knelt down trembling and shouted that this was the work of the demons from Dark Sky.
"The demon is in Jinshi City. Search her out from house to house!" said a tall and strong bald man with a bone bead hanging around his thick neck viciously:
"We must tie the demon to the pillar of fire and burn it to death to avenge the great sacrifice!"
The knife-wielding cultist who had seen the demon with his own eyes wanted to dissuade them, and said in panic:
"That's a demon. We are just mortals. How can we catch the demon of Dark Sky?"
In his eyes, all believers should flee the city, and the demons should be dealt with by the Goddess Chitian.
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart!" The big man snorted coldly, waved his hand, and ordered the people to divide into teams of five or six people and run in all directions.
"Tell me again, what does that demon look like?!"
The knife-wielding cultist swallowed his saliva and looked back into the dark street.
If he had known this earlier, he would not have come back to report the news. Instead, he would have immediately gone home to pack his luggage and take his wife and children back to the city, just like the other swordsman.
Now that he had returned to the Jinghuotan and told the story of the demon, it had brought even greater disaster and trouble.
He was powerless and could only obey and answer: "The demon is dressed in red and exudes an evil aura. He has a sword on his waist, and the hem of his clothes looks like dark fire. His sword skills are sharp and strange, and his eyes are bloodshot. He is extremely terrifying——"
The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. If he had not followed his companions' example and kowtowed to convey his wishes, he would have surely become the rotten flesh on the ground with broken bones all over his body.
"Any girl wearing red clothes and carrying a sword with red eyes! Catch them all! No, the demons in the Great Dark Sky are genderless, so catch the men too!" the bald man shouted immediately.
"Yes!" The surrounding believers holding swords and weapons obeyed the order and dispersed into every street and alley to search.
As long as there was some light in the house, or the noise in the house was a little louder at night, these believers would immediately take advantage of their numbers, kick the door open, and break into the house with torches to search.
Amid the noise, chaos suddenly broke out in the city late at night.
People from the Jingming Sect broke into homes, shouting, "Where are the demons?" and either quarreled or fought with the people inside... In the chaos, bloody conflicts soon broke out.
Torches were waved, and within the time it took to burn an incense stick, many houses in the city were set on fire.
As long as ordinary non-believers dared to resist, they would immediately be accused by the believers of having connections with the devil, arrested and interrogated.
Many believers took the opportunity to seek revenge or break into houses to steal gold and silver treasures. It was unclear whether they were looking for demons or just being robbers.
The various noisy sounds coming from the city made Xi Heng, who was meditating on the bed in the room on the third floor of the restaurant, slowly open his eyes.
A faint red light flickered in her eyes. The girl relaxed her cross-legged posture, dropped her legs to the edge of the bed, put on her brocade shoes, and picked up the blood-stained sword on the bedside.
She spent dozens of taels of silver to ask the most famous craftsman in Jiangning City to forge this sword. Although it can't cut iron like mud, it can at least cut through hair.
She hung the scabbard back around her waist, stretched her body casually, then opened the small door and returned to the balcony.
Looking at the hundreds of swaying torches in the city below, Xi Heng's eyes were gentle.
“I’ve come to the right place this time.”
As soon as she wanted to kill someone, so many people came rushing to be killed by her... This Jingming Sect is really good.
The bright moonlight in the sky illuminated her red dress.
Xi Heng pressed his hands together and jumped over the fence.
The gust of wind brought by the fall blew up his clothes, and his toes tapped silently on the ground in the darkness.
His right hand fell on the hilt of the sword and he slowly pulled it out.
The sword blade rubs against the sheath, and a soft chant is sung.
She looked up and saw a burning torch swaying closer in the distance.
Xi Heng turned and moved, stepping forward lightly with his toes, silently.
The moonlight was covered by dark clouds again, and the night became even darker.
Her figure was hidden in the darkness, with only the faint red light in her eyes and on her sword gently rippled, like a wandering ghost in the night.
Gradually, the distance was shortened to a hundred meters, and the enemy on the other side still didn't notice her approach.
Suddenly a cool breeze fell on the girl's face. She raised her head slightly, and more tiny raindrops stuck to her.
"Is it going to rain? It's just right to cover up the sound."
Xi Heng leaned forward and his steps gradually quickened.
After a few breaths, the light from the torch illuminated her figure.
The five Jingming Sect followers who were gathered together had not yet reacted when they saw a red shadow suddenly appear from the far end of their field of vision.
The next moment, the long sword, with its cold light, pierced straight into the heart of the cultist holding the torch.
Xi Heng kicked the pierced person away from the sword, pulled it out and continued to slash at the other cultist who was still in shock.
The long sword slashed across the neck, leaving a hideous bloody mark, and more blood suddenly spurted out from it.
"Monster! Monster! Monster—" The other three believers trembled all over and didn't know what to do for a moment.
But Xi Heng would not be stunned. Before the other party could finish half of his words, she had already put the sword to the enemy's neck.
The red line flashed, and a hideous and terrified head, sprayed with blood, fell to the ground.
"The demon is here! Help, help, help!"
The obese cultist nearby dropped the machete in his hand and tried to escape crying and pissing his pants.
Xi Heng stepped forward to catch up, pierced the opponent's abdomen with the sword, and twisted his wrist violently. After a dull cry of pain, the cultist immediately stopped moving due to the severe pain, collapsed to the ground by inertia, and continued to cry out in pain.
After pulling out the sword and piercing the opponent's heart, giving him a quick death, Xi Heng looked at the last person.
The man had already knelt on the ground, the sword in his hand had long been dropped to the ground, and he clasped his hands together and shook them, begging:
"Master Demon of Dark Sky! I don't want to die, please spare my life!"
